Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP

Discover the Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Skin, Acne, and Hair


Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and injecting the resulting PRP into targeted areas like the face or scalp. Often termed "liquid gold" due to its golden hue and potent properties, PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue healing, collagen production, and hair growth.

This treatment effectively improves skin texture, diminishes wrinkles, accelerates acne scar healing, and enhances hair restoration. Experience the enhanced benefits of microneedling with PRP at Cumberland Skin.

What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment

During your PRP treatment, a small blood sample is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, and then skillfully injected into targeted areas to address concerns like fine lines or hair loss.

The procedure is quick and generally comfortable, often likened to a "lunchtime" treatment. Temporary redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur but usually resolves within days.

Your dermatologist will guide you through the process, ensuring personalized care and optimal results for your cosmetic goals.

PRP Maintenance Recommendations

Maintaining the benefits of your PRP treatment is essential for long-lasting results. While the specific schedule may vary based on individual needs, many patients benefit from a series of initial sessions spaced a few weeks apart.

After achieving the desired results, a maintenance schedule is often recommended, which might involve sessions every 6 to 12 months. This helps to sustain the rejuvenating effects and further enhance the health of your skin or promote ongoing hair growth.
